Opening by icon on the desktop.
For the Safety Module Editor in COMBIVIS (Configuration / parameterization of safety modules in COMBI-
VERT F6, S6, and H6) (=> 14 KEB Safety Module Editor) some other requirements are valid:
• The safety module editor requires a Microsoft Windows 10 operating system.
• The current service pack should be installed.
• The language must be English or German. If not, English is used.
The system requirements for the COMBIVIS studio 6 Safety Editor (Programming of KEB Safety PLC und

Note1): After disconnecting the operator from the device, the baud rate of the device internal HSP5 interface
must be reset to 38400 baud by restarting the F5 (or set manually by parameter Sy11 to 38.4 kBaud). The
connection HSP5-operator works with 250kBaud, which is too much for the PC.
Connection possible also by KEB Port Expander (=> 2.6.4 Port Expander)
Interface X6A:
Connection of the drive controller directly to
serial D-SUB 9-pole protocol DIN 66019II:
KEB-USB-serial converter

Part No. 0058025-001D
The F6 operator can be used also on COMBIVERT S6 and H6. A good-shielded D-sub 9-pole extension ca-
ble can be used to connect the operator with the serial DIN 66019 interface on the COMBIVERT S6/H6.
2.7 Accessories

PC F5- Interface operator
Converts USB into serial DIN 66019 II and HSP5 D-SUB 9-pole
Transferring of receipts by 17.2 FTP Program or the wizard drive storage to COMBIVERT F6/S6 is possible
from Version V2.4
Matching USB converters are signed with “FTP ready”.
Driver installation
While installation of COMBIVIS 6 the driver for the KEB USB Converter will be installed automatically. If it is
not wanted it can be disabled at setup:
The signed driver “kebcdc.inf” can be found in the COMBIVIS 6 installation folder “C:\Pro-
grams\KEB\COMBIVIS_6\Drivers”.
The KEB-USB converter 0058060-0020 is no longer manufactured. It has basically the same properties, but
no potential separation. Due to data transport problems this should not be used on COMBIVERT F6 / S6.
Node addresses are not specified in HSP5 interface of the USB-serial converter. So COMBIVIS 6 will find a
device on each scanned address!
E.g., while scanning address 0 and 1 the same device will be found and included twice, regardless of which
current node address is adjusted.
So, search for connection by HSP5 only on one address!
In "Connect to device" remove the checkmark "Node address autodetection", otherwise the device will be
integrated in the project up to 240 times! Typically, node address 1 is used.
2.7.3 HSP5-Adapter
D-SUB 9-pole / RJ45
Part No. 00F50C0-0020
Useful for COMBIVERT B6 and F5 bus operators (HSP5) only with KEB-USB-serial converter!
The Port Expander has been discontinued and is only available for a limited time!
The port expander is a communication gateway with Ethernet and USB interface and 4 HSP5/485 interfaces
for connection to drive controllers or operators of KEB COMBIVERT.
With the port expander up to 4 devices with HSP5 interface with COMBIVIS 6 can be addressed, because
the port expander can convert the HSP5 protocol to DIN66019.
Input side:
• USB on USB-B-interface
• Ethernet:
o ARP Address Resolution Protocol Response
o ICMP Echo Response (Ping)
o TCP/IP DIN66019II, Modbus/TCP, Http
o TCP/UDP DIN66019II, Modbus/TCP
o DHCP BootP Response, switchable
Output side:
• At each of the 4 output interface a HSP5 device (F5 control board (X4A) direct / F5 bus operator /
B6)
• Port 4 (X4D) may alternatively be set to RS485 bus DIN66019II so theoretically up to 235 partici-
pants with a serial interface DIN 66019II. (F5-Interface Operator / G6 / H6 / P6 / F6 / S6)
Power is supplied by an external 24V power supply or via the USB cable.
The Port Expander can be run locally on the table or mounted on a DIN rail in the control cabinet.
Numbers:
Wiring examples:
The cable Part No. 00F50C0-4025 can also be plugged directly into the Sub-D9-pol HSP5 socket of the F5
instead of the operator.
Further information can be found in the manual. Please search for "00F5025-0080" or "Port Expander" on
the KEB homepage www.keb.de.
For searching of the devices, the node addresses 0 to 5 must be adjusted (node 0 = Port Expander, node 1-
4= the HSP5 ports X4A – X4D).
Driver installation
You will find the USB driver “FTDI_USB_Serial_Converter” in the COMBIVIS 6 installation folder “C:\Pro-
grams\KEB\COMBIVIS_6\Drivers” (please unpack before installation).
2.8 Installation
Since version 6.6.0 there is only one installation file. When installing, you can choose whether the standard
version COMBIVIS 6 or the extended COMBIVIS studio 6 version should be installed.
For a new installation or when updating COMBIVIS 6, the selection is pre-set to COMBIVIS 6. When updat-
ing COMBIVIS studio 6, COMBIVIS studio 6 is pre-selected.
When COMBIVIS studio 6 is chosen, the COMBIVIS studio 6 safety profile can be selected additionally.
COMBIVIS studio 6 safety includes the CODESYS safety extensions and some safety adaptions (=> 2.2
Types).
Sandbox Installation
Use cases:
• Allow parallel installations of safety-version and non-safety version
• Allow keeping old version installed
• Allow pre-testing of beta versions quickly, avoid influence on a productive environment
When starting the installation, you can choose whether the previous version should be deleted or remain.
• Uninstall: the older version will be uninstalled; the new version will be installed and substitutes the
old version.
• Keep: The new version is installed and add.
After “keep” you find 2 (or more) start icons on the Windows desktop:
Function fields:
• “Launch”: launches profile in this version (CV6 or CV studio 6 or CV studio 6 Safety).
• “Uninstall”: uninstall version
• “Ignore Updates”: do not update version. Updates are carried out within the version (documents,
parameter description, etc.).
• “Update”: install newer version
On the "Available" card, versions provided by KEB but not installed are offered for installation (internet con-
nection required):
COMBIVIS (studio) 6.6.0 Setup can be configured so that "Compact installation" is set from the start:
For this you must add the parameter / TYPE = "compact" to the call, for example:
"Setup_COMBIVIS_studio_6_V6.6.0_B227_R17_(TC1).exe" /TYPE="compact"
Result:
Prevent the standard association of the file extension ".project" with CV:
"Setup_COMBIVIS_studio_6_V6.6.0_B227_R17_(TC1).exe" /MERGETASKS="!associatePro-
jectFileExtension"
This command can also be combined with the above "Types" parameter.
3 Start-Up
Handling of a KEB device in COMBIVIS 6 requires at every time generating a new project or starting an ex-
isting project.
If only an existing parameter list may be loaded to the KEB COMBIVERT, the function “Download param-
eter list” on the start page can be used (=> chapter 3.6).
In COMBIVIS basic settings you will find the start page after starting up COMBIVIS

fline mode.
Attach a parameter list to a device or project: mark device or project → in tool bar click on icon →
hook at “Import parameter list from file” → file extension: “.cvxpl”= CV6-format / “.dw5” + “.wr5” = CV5-format
→ “Open” → “Add”
Or:
Click with right mouse key on device → “Add new parameter list”
Set the hook in “Import parameter list from file” → find the file → choose the file → “open”.
Alternative:
Attach a parameter list to a device or project: Respective device/project
Right-mouse-key → choose “Add Object” → “KEB Parameter list…” → hook at “Import parameter list from
file” → file extension: “.cvxpl”= CV6-format / “.dw5” + “.wr5” = CV5-format → “Add”, or:
In tool bar click on icon → “KEB Parameter list…”→ hook at “Import parameter list from file” → file ex-
tension: “.cvxpl”= CV6-format / “.dw5” + “.wr5” = CV5-format → “Add”
Next step:
The parameter list is appended to the device at which the dialog was opened. But it can also be chosen
whether it is hung on another device in the project or on a virtual device, which has the same type as the one
with which the list was created earlier.
If there are parameters of several devices in the list (only at .cvxpl lists), it can be chosen which device of the
list will match which device in the project.
The new added parameter list will be opened directly in the editor
A stored parameter list can be opened directly from Windows Explorer by double click or with button “Open
parameter list” on COMBIVIS Start Page. A temporary project will be created in background.
Please note:
This complete list is filled in column “offline” with
COMBIVIS-default values and does not include yet
the actual values of the device. For data storage it
is essential to take an upload from the device be-
fore saving!
In the subindex and set column is only one value shown, depending on the valid addressing mode for this
parameter.
Alternatively:
Open list → place device editor and parameter list window beside each other (=> 7 Window layout) → mark
the parameter in the device editor with left mouse key → hold the key → pull the parameter into the parame-
ter list (Drag&Drop).
Empty lines have no influence. They are used only for structuring.
The change of one or more device references can be affected by marking of the corresponding lines in the
column “DRef” → “right mouse key” → “Edit Device-Reference” → choose new device reference → “OK”.
Open the control release or the STO inputs before upload, because
WARNING at upload some pointer can be changed. Especially when values are
written by bus system at the same time an unexpected moving of
the drive can occur.
The column “Offline value” will become overwritten with the values (online values) which are adjusted in the
device.
Be sure that the device reference in the list matches the target device´s reference!
Otherwise adapt the reference of the list (=> 8.10 Changing of Device Reference).
Open the terminal control release or the STO inputs before down-
WARNING load of parameter list into the device because some parameters can
be written only at open control release terminal. And an unexpected
moving of the drive can occur.
If only one existing parameter list is to be loaded into a KEB COMBIVERT, the function "Download of a pa-
rameter list" can be used on the start page (=> 3.6 Direct Download of a parameter list).
The values, which are adjusted in the device, will become overwritten with the values of the column “Offline
Values”. Only the writeable parameters which are in the list will get overwritten. All the rest will remain unaf-
fected.
Be sure that the device reference in the list matches the target device´s reference!
Otherwise adapt the reference of the list (=> 8.10 Changing of Device Reference).
Parallel up-/download from/to several devices (here: DRef 0 and 1) from a list is possible.
Each parameter is dedicated to one device. Therefor the suitable target-CFG-IDs must be registered. Miss-
ing CFG-IDs will be added at up/download optionally.
Parameters can be excluded from downloading if they are set in the R/W column to "Read only".
Please note:
If the parameter list is designed with indirect set pointer, all parameters in all sets will be compared only with
1 set (the set to which the set pointer Fr09 is adjusted). For an expedient comparing use direct set or CiA
301 addressing for the parameter list. (=> 8.17 Parameter backup)
Some parameter values depend on pointer positions (e.g., Ud16, Ud22, In24 …). Online (in the device) these
parameters are shown only once. In a complete data saving list these parameters are shown each by each
with the related pointer. So, the different list parameters are compared every time with the same device pa-
rameter!
Example: Ud15 (CP-selector) is the pointer for Ud16 (CP-Address). In Ud15 one of 36 possible parameters
and in Ud16 the related (application-) parameter address can be chosen. In a data saving list all 36 Ud15
and Ud16 must be listed, but online, in the device, Ud15 shows every time the same value. That gives at
comparing once an equal and 35 times an unequal value.

Example:
Two parameter lists with parameters which are not included at the other list. Also, at different adjustments at
parameters which are in both lists.
Result:
Yellow: parameters with different adjustments.
Green/grey: Parameters missing in one of both lists.
The parameter backup generates a parameter list in the project. This can be exported.
In the wizard for the F6 / H6 / S6 / T6 / P6 there is also the backup function. This generates a backup file,
which can be converted to a parameter list in the project (=> 10.1.1.1. Basic Settings).
"Create a single merged list": All parameters of the selected units are saved in one list. This is positioned
in the Navigator at the project. The distinction is made by the unit reference.
"Create separate lists": A separate list is created for each selected device. This is positioned in the naviga-
tor at the respective device.
"Create DW5 files instead of parameter list objects in the project": The separate lists are saved outside
COMBIVIS as parameter lists in “.dw5” format.
Explanation: If "WA" parameters are included in the list, the upload should not be started if data is being writ-
ten to the COMBIVERT at the same time by a bus system or other parallel communication. During the up-
load, pointers to memory cells must be adjusted. If information is written via this pointer at the same time, it
may end up in a wrong cell. This could be, for example, a wrong target position. After the backup is finished,
all pointers are back in their original position.
The lists can be exported from the navigator. => Chap. 8.20 Export parameter list.
If the drive controller works in contouring mode (synchronous bus mode) the indirect set addressing
must be used!
Without set pointer, each parameter belongs direct to one set or several sets.
8.18 CP Parameter
CP-parameters are parameters displayed in the device display at COMBIVERT F5, B6, and G6 in a separate
menu. The CP-parameters show selectable application parameters.
In COMBIVIS 6 there is no actual CP parameter menu. This means that no operation is possible like on the
display of the device.
A list can be created which shows the assignment of CP parameter and application parameter.
→ Click with right mouse key on the device in the navigator → “Create CP parameter list”.
In the column “#” the number of the CP parameter is shown. The parameter is the assigned application pa-
rameter.
For example, in the picture above: CP03 shows “ru00 inverter state”
Please note:
• The assignment of the CP parameter is read out while creating the list. A subsequent change in the
device is not reflected in the list!
• A scaling or set assignment is not considered!
➢ A “wr5” list does not store any values, just a list of (online) parameters!
i
➢ Parameter lists to be used on COMBICONTROL C6, F5-LCD operator or F6
i operator must be stored in "dw5" format.
Export:
Select parameter list in Navigator → right-mouse-click → “Export” → select storage format → select storage
location.
Select parameter list in Navigator → right mouse click → Export → EtherCAT CoE startup command file.
9 Scope
9.1 Characteristics
• Running of one Scope per project possible, but several scopes can be added and displayed
• Scope files can be attached to the project or to devices
• Scope files are saved with the project when it is saved
• Total up to 16 channels per scope
• COMBIVERT F5 / B6 / G6: Up to 4 channels per device work in fast Scope mode, (2x32-Bit + 2x16-
Bit) or (1x32-Bit + 3x16-Bit) or 4x16-Bit parameter length. The order does not matter.
• COMBIVERT F6 / H6 / S6: no fast Scope mode up to firmware version 2.0. From version 2.1 up to
four 32-Bit parameters can be used in fast Scope mode (Service 21).
• Display as dot, line, step curve or interpolated curve
• It is possible to record channels in all devices of the project at the same time
• Export in XML-format with file extension “.sc6” for import in another COMBIVIS 6 project
• Export in Excel-compatible “CSV”-format
• Offline mode (4 channels buffer in one device)
• Online Trigger mode
• 2 horizontal and 2 vertical cursors at the same time
• Extensive zoom-functions
• Auto scaling function (splaying of the curve to the whole X- and Y-range)
• Y-axis additionally with parameters unit
• Import of .sc5-files (COMBIVIS 5) is not possible
Alternative way: Right mouse key on “Project” → “Add Object” → “COMBIVIS Scope”
Different channels in the opened scope can belong to different devices of the project.
The version of the COMBIVERT is stored in the scope, so at opening it is pre-selected if a matching device is
found in the project.
Copy scope:
By “copy” and “paste” in the navigator, it is easily possible to create a similar scope.
The assignment of the channels can be adjusted in the settings of each channel.
In window “Settings” in scope itself settings can be adjusted which are valid only for this scope.
Limitation of communication:
Lock channels: The specified parameter on a channel can be accessed and queried only by Scope. Other
parameters are accessible.
Exclusive communication: All communication with the devices is limited to the scope. Simultaneous change
of a parameter is not possible (Also the test run wizard of the x6-devices no longer works). At disabled func-
tion parameters can be adjusted while scope is running and displays changes coevally (e.g., for speed con-
troller adjustment).
In the default setting (both functions off), the communication is split between the read-out scope channels
and all device parameters visible in other windows. The scope scan rate is therefore faster if all editor win-
dows are hidden.
In window “New Channel” a parameter can be chosen directly for this channel.

By passing the curve with the mouse, the actual value will be displayed.
By right mouse key click on the curve a window opens with adjustment possibilities.
Zoom by mouse:
• Whole display with mouse wheel or keys “+” and “-“
• Parts of display: mark with left mouse key
Or:
Tap key “Ctrl” and left mouse
key in parallel
Or:
With pressed mouse wheel
Or:
Only the time (X-) axis: click

Calculation mode:
Based on vertical cursor values, it is possible to realize several calculation types: difference, integral or aver-
age. On basis of horizontal cursor values only difference is possible.
By context menu / “right mouse key” in the cursor list area the calculation mode can be chosen. Or for
changing click onto the name with left mouse key.
With this it is possible to get very easy the RMS current of a drive over a running circuit.
If the cursors are no longer in the picture due to zooming, they can be brought back into the picture with the
context menu "right mouse button"→ "Centre cursors".
The displayed length of the parameter name in the cursor list can be chosen in the context menu:
1.)

This function realizes in case of long-term recordings a limitation of the saved period (e. g. period around a
defined error occurrence). Therefor a trigger event will be defined (e.g., a special drive controller status or a
reached current level).
Around this event a predefined time domain will be saved. That results in a compact scope-file also for long
term recordings.
This function will be adjusted and activated in the window “Scope” → “Settings”.
The trigger event will be placed in scope display at 0 ms on the time axis.
Example:
Trigger
Trigger level
Lead-time Delay
The store will be frozen by a trigger event and can be read-out by scope. Because of a faster data communi-
cation in the devices than to the PC it can be recorded with a shorter time grid.
Useful for:
• Shorter time grid, therewith better hit rate in short peaks
• Recording without PC
• Recording of sporadically events
Characteristics:
• Available for COMBIVERT F5 but not F5-Basic, B6, F6, G6, H6, S6 and P6 drive controllers
• Contrary to online mode data won‘t be readout sequential from the drive controller and displayed but
internally saved in the drive controller
• No dependency on communication time, therefore very short frames realizable
• Up to 4 channels in one device will be recorded with chronological synchronism and in a fixed frame
(fast Scope mode)
• For data recording a connection drive controller to PC must not be active
• Flexible trigger conditions allow a selective recording of sequences
• Trigger will be released by a digital input.
• Also, after drive controller‘s power-off the trigger requirement will remain unaffected (only F5-A/M, -
S, -H, -K, -L, -P, -E ≥ D-housing). In COMBIVERT G6 the trigger condition will be saved after Power-
Off, stored date will be lost. It is possible to trigger intermittent effects over a long period.
• At COMBIVERT F5, B6 and G6 all Parameters are recorded only from set 0.
Note: With COMBIVERT H6/F6/S6/P6 up to firmware 2.7, the index values of ARRAY and STRUCT param-
eters cannot be recorded. This function is only possible with COMBIVERT F6/S6 from firmware 2.8.
Adjust scanning-frequency:
Maximum number of buffered values * scan time = stored time.
That means: the smaller time base the shorter recorded time.
Max. quantity of values depends on controller‘s data space (=>: 9.16.5 Offline-Storage Capacity).
Note: For COMBIVERT H6/F6/S6/P6/T6 the sampling rate depends on the setting in parameter is22 / time
base Tp. Only multiples of the time base set in is22 can be used (rounded if necessary).
Remark:
When the recording is started, the offline memory (ring memory / drum storage) is filled with values. Until the
memory has finished the first loop values from previous records can be in. If, after the start of the recording,
the trigger still comes within the first “round” and has only a little delay, it may be that the previous values
have not yet been overwritten and are displayed.
• Start offline recording via click on start/stop button or tap key “F9”.
• In the bottom of the scope-window the flashing code “wait for trigger” appears. The drive controller
waits for the trigger event.
• The code will change into “data recording” as soon as the trigger event occurs. The recording will be
realized and saved.
• If the saving process is finished, the code will change into “offline data readout”. The saved data will
be red out by Scope and displayed.
• After reading out the diagram can be handled like in online-mode.
• Start offline recording by start/stop button or tap key “F9” → at the bottom of the display is
shown blinking “Wait for trigger”→ the device is waiting for the trigger condition
• Close COMBIVIS 6 without stopping the scope, if applicable save project.
• When the first trigger condition occurs, the curves will be saved in the device´s storage. Further will
be ignored.
• Connect cables as shown before → start COMBIVIS 6 with the respective or with a new project → if
needed get connection to the device → at “Scope” → ”Settings” click on:
→ the saved data will be read out of the device and displayed in Scope.
• The saved data will be erased at F5-A/-S/-E/-H; ≥D-housing only by a new starting of offline record-
ing. The drive controller can also be switched of in the meantime. At G6/ H6/ F5-A-Servo (A-Hous-
ing) trigger requirements and saved data will be erased also by switching off the device or by over-
writing.
For example:
Time base: 500µs / trigger source: F / trigger position: 5%
Trigger
5% 95%
Therewith 4 channels with 16-bit in 0.5ms time basis give approx. 0.47s recording time.
For the other drive controllers this might differ strongly.
For example: a KEB COMBIVERT G6-G has approximately 20% more space. COMBIVERT F5-C has ap-
prox. 70% less and COMBIVERT B6 approx. 86% less.
10.1.1 Online Start-Up Wizard COMBIVERT F6/ H6/ S6/ P6/ T6.
For the new “generation 6” drive controller a step by step start-up online wizard is implemented.
It can be used also offline but then not all features can be handled.
The idea is to start-up the drive with handling of all necessary adjustments step by step.
Depending on the functions available in the device type, parts of the wizard are masked.
For each function card there is a tab “expert settings”. There, the parameters belonging to the respective
function are listed directly and allow advanced settings. The normal user is passed over it and normally does
not need to set anything.

10.1.1.2 Motor
• Can be used for synchronous and asynchronous 3-phase motors
• Data of KEB Motors can be chosen by Part. No.
• Motor data can be adjusted manually, and the data can be stored in a motor data base (after identifi-
cation in window “Identification”)
• Data from user motor database can be chosen.
• User data base can load or exported
• Adjustment of braking transistor
• Adjustment of temperature sensor type and fault reaction
• Data of brake and sinusoidal filter can be adjusted optimally
•
Leaving of the window “motor” activates the motor data in the drive controller.
10.1.1.4 Controller
• Adjustments for speed controller
• Adjustments for position controller and position feedback.
• Pre adjustments depending on the inertia of motor and machine.
10.1.1.6 Identification
• Guided motor data identification

• Identified motor data can be stored in user motor database
10.1.1.8 Fieldbus
• Selection of bus system
At EtherCAT and Profinet the process data size can be chosen (depending in firmware version):
➢ If the bus type is changed, an error is triggered in the drive (ru01 = Error!
i fieldbus type changed). The change must be confirmed by pressing the "soft-
ware reset" button or a power-on reset of the unit. Only then will the change
be accepted!
A customer specific assignment can be stored in the user data base and can be reloaded.
“Stored Mappings” → “User database” → “Load/Save”
Manual assignment:
The process data must be disabled!
The right-hand window lists the parameters available for process data.
These can be copied with the mouse to the Transmit PDO field or the Receive PDO field using drag & drop.
The data length is taken over correctly.
Parameters can be deleted by dragging them to the waste basket at the bottom left via the mouse or marked
and using the “Delete” key.
“Read only parameters” cannot be dragged into the Receive PDO field.
The number of transferred objects can be restricted. This allows certain objects to be excluded from data ex-
change from right to left.

The test run wizard does not have any watchdog functionality!
CAUTION If the communication is lost due to cable interruption or program crash,
the drive continues to run with its last set points!
It can be arranged parallel to the device editors. You can then switch conveniently between e.g., Scope and
the test run wizard:
Click the header with the left mouse button, hold it down and move the mouse pointer to the appearing ar-
rangement cross, place it in the middle field and release the mouse pointer.
State machine
The view for the state machine can be opened with the field "status display" arranged in the top right corner.
The state machine graphically displays the state of control word co00 and status word st00.
In Control Word, each bit can be set individually by clicking on the green dots.
You can also use the direct buttons below.
Velocity mode:
• pre-set of 3 speeds
• setting of control word
• setting brake control bit
• start of pre-set scope
Actual speed
Go to position “0”
Note: with "relative position" and "change target position immediately = off", a positioning profile is generated
with each mouse click on the field "Start positioning" and then processed one after the other!
Homing Mode
Set the current position to 0
In many cases, the current mechanical position of the drive must / should represent the zero point. How to
set the current position to 0:
Set mode to “homing mode”
• The homing method must be set to "35: on current position" (default). The parameter hm01 is
included in the expert settings.
• Enable the bit “Start homing” in the Control Word and disable the bit.
The other modes cannot be used or only with restrictions by the test run wizard.
10.1.1.10 Cogging
The cogging compensation function minimizes the permanent magnet depending unequal speed in the
range of low speed. Therefor the wizard measures a torque curve, calculates the offset curve, and saves the
values in the drive controller.
• Useful only for permanent magnet linear drives and permanent magnet synchronous motors
• The calibration requires a motor encoder with position signal (e.g., resolver). The function itself can
also work without an encoder with a loss of quality.
• The measurement may be done only after optimal adjustment of speed and position controller of the
drive controller.
• The motor must run without load!
• Depending on the motor size and construction pre-adjustments in the wizard may be changed.
• During measurement, no value may be changed manually or by bus system
• The wizard uses the profile position mode
• The measurement takes 20-30 minutes
• After ending of the measurement, the result must be transmitted to the drive controller and the func-
tion must be enabled.
• The measurement procedure can be interrupted. If no value is transmitted and activated there is no
influence on the drive controller.
The “target reached” mode controls the measurement via a positioning profile and ensures that really each
measurement position is approached. That provides an accurate result but requires well-adjusted speed and
positioning controls.
The “time-based” mode controls the measurement over a time sequence of measurements, regardless of
whether the position has been reached or not. The result is not so accurate, but works more easily, because
the movement does not have to be so precise.
After the measurement is done, the data must be transferred to the drive and activated:
The result of the measurement is displayed in the editor “Graphs and data”. It can be stored in a separate file
and reopened later.
The control release terminal must be switched open and close while identifying runs. Switching by software
is not possible.

There are 4 help areas:
By touching with mouse on the sign the corresponding help or explanation text is briefly displayed.
In the menu bar under "Help" the help function can be opened in different display modes.
Tag overview
There is a distinction between function of COMBIVIS 6 and the programming system CODESYS.
The KEB document database with file type FAQ opens. Depending on the program or device type descrip-
tions or sample parameter lists are displayed. Files or sample lists can be opened directly by double-clicking.
When the corresponding Programmer's Guide is installed, with the function context menu - "Find documenta-
tion ..." the declaration of the parameter will be shown.
In the right part of the window all digits are displayed where the selected parameter appears. The selection
of a reference leads to a jump to the location in the PDF document.
The direct opening and the import of documentation are described in chapter 13 Document Database.

11.6 TeamViewer
COMBIVIS provides a simple TeamViewer version. TeamViewer is a program with which a participant gets
access to another PC over the Internet, sees the image surface, and can operate it.
The computer with COMBIVIS must have a sufficiently fast internet connection.
The owner of the "observed" PC must explicitly start the program and agree to access. The remote access
can only be made with a licensed full version with the same or higher version.
The COMBIVIS TeamViewer cannot access another PC.
Access is not limited to COMBIVIS.
Each time a new call is made, the password is changed.
Start:
Menu “Help” → “KEB Quick Support”
12 Search Function
COMBIVIS 6 offers two different search functions.
Text to search
Text mode
Searching array
Normally, the searching of parameters is done from the current cursor position is to the end. When the de-
sired parameter is before it is not found. With the "end from the beginning" option the parameter will be
found, but it may be in a loop and the user must decide at which point the loop is executed.
Search methods:
In “Find Next” will jump to the next location in the display window.
In “Search All” a new result window will open with all the localities in the message window. Clicking the lo-
cality in the results executes a jump to the appropriate place in the editor or in the parameter list.
13 Document Database
By the COMBIVIS internal document database all KEB documents can be displayed. In the basic equipment
the programming manuals of COMBIVERT F5-A, G6 and F6/H6/S6 are integrated. Other documents (manu-
als, catalogues, E-Plan-data….) can be added via internet.
The using of the database requires the registration of COMBIVIS 6 or the licensing of COMBIVIS stu-
dio. The registration can be done via button on the bottom of the start page or via menu bar: “Help” → “Reg-

For the Safety Module Editor special system requirements apply, => chapter 2.3.
Please find the description of parameters and editor in the manual of the safety module.
Open safety module editor → select tab “Safe parameterization” → menu: “File” → “Print”.
By PDF-creator program an image file can be created.
If the print shall include an individual file name, the configuration may be saved. The name can be assigned.
After re-import, the file name appears in the line "Import file".
c) Is it possible to use parameter lists (.dw5), work lists (.wr5) and scope files (.sc5) of
COMBIVIS 5 at COMBIVIS 6?
With COMBIVIS 6 .dw5- and .wr5-files can be opened and saved. Sc5-files cannot be handled.
d) Is it possible to parameterize older KEB drive controllers (e.g., F4) with CV6?
No, it is not intended.
e) After inserting a parameter list into the project, there is shown: “channel closed” in the online
values.
The device reference in the parameter list is not the same as in the actual device. → Adjust the
device reference in the list.
g) Why will be found the same device several times by using the USB-Serial-Converter Part No.
0058060-0020 / -0040?
Because of the not specified node addresses at HSP5 the F5/HSP5 or B6 drive controller will be
found at each scanned node address. (HSP5 is a face to face communication with only 2 members)
→ Search only at one node address or, at manually searching, mark and open only one device (=>:
2.6.2 KEB USB Serial Converter).
Because of the parameter "copy function" is set programmable, the set addressing mode plays an
essential role in the process.
When copying the "collapsed" parameter the direct addressed set is the target (usually are then
target and source set equal to 0):
Solution: Please adjust in column “set” the number of the set which is the target of the copying and
adjust in the column “Offline/Online value” the number of the set which is to copy.
For every firmware of each KEB device a description of the parameters is needed in COMBIVIS.
Parameter description for this firmware of the device is missing (=> 16 Update Function).
b) If a channel which is in the fast Scope mode will be disabled, does the 5th channel move up
into the fast Scope mode or does the previous reservation persist?
Yes. The channel “moves up”.
a) The horizontal cursors in Scope locks only on the values of the first channel. The values of the other
channels cannot be matched.
Workaround: By “Scope” → “Settings” → “Extended”: disable the hook at “Cursors snap to values”.
Within the cursors can be placed freely by mouse.
b) At German Windows operating system and setting in English, the COMBIVERT G6 / F6 ASCL / SCL
wizard has problems if the comma is used to separate the decimal place.
Workaround: If a value with decimal place is entered, the usual dot in English must be used. A
comma will be ignored! In the display, however, "by default" can be a comma and then also applies.
(The parameter editor can use either a dot or a comma, both are valid).
16 Update Function
16.1 Manually Checking for Updates
With function “Check for updates” on the start page or in menu “Help” an automatically connection to the
KEB-homepage is done if a connection to the internet is available. The parameter description file “paras.xml”
is checked for a newer date and downloaded/integrated if desired.
17 Drive Storage
17.1 Drive storage Wizard
The device storage wizard enables the transfer of recipe lists in the device memory of COMBIVERT F6 and
S6 as of firmware V2.3.
Note:
• Communication over the F6 Ethernet operator or the F6 USB operator opens only access to
operator-internal store, not to the drive!
• Files in compressed form (zip files) cannot be loaded into the drive storage.
• Accessing the drive storage and loading recipes into the unit only works when the modulation is
switched off (status voltage enabled, switched on, ready to switch on).
The function of the recipe management is described in the programming manual of the COMBIVERT (key-
word: “recipe management”. It can be found in the document data base.
With the drive storage wizard also other file types can be transferred (like firmware, description files etc.).
Show file system Files on the PC Transfer files Files in the drive storage
The key button in the tool bar or in the parameter editor at the bottom cannot be used for that!
The file names of the recipes must meet certain criteria (=> Programming Manual).
The function and the name can be selected.
The file names of the recipes must meet certain criteria (=> Programming Manual).
Transfer a recipe from the PC file system to the COMBIVERT: Select files → by “>” transfer from one to
the other file system or drag and drop the file from the PC file system onto the dashed area.
Transferring a recipe from the COMBIVERT to the PC file system: Select files → Transfer by “<” from
one file system to another.
The content of a recipe can be changed by transferring it as a parameter list to the Navigator and saving it
again as a recipe after the change (=> 17.1.3 Recipe Management).
17.1.7 Disconnect
After the connection has been disconnected, the connection to the parameterization interface of the COMBI-
VERT opens again = green connector symbol in the Navigator.
Note:
• Communication over the F6 Ethernet operator or the F6 USB operator opens only access to
operator-internal store, not to the drive!
• Files in compressed form (zip files) cannot be loaded into the drive storage.
• Accessing the drive storage and loading recipes into the unit only works when the modulation is
switched off (status voltage enabled, switched on, ready to switch on).
• Not useable for C6 IPC types!
Open:
Menu bar “Tools” → “KEBFTP”
Note:
KEB-FTP is a separate program running parallel to COMBIVIS 6. It is not possible for KEB-FTP and
COMBIVIS 6 to serve the same COM-Port at the same time. So, the used COM Port in KEB-FTP must be
inactive in COMBIVIS 6.
Adjustments:
IP-address or COM-Port and password if required (=> device manual) must be adjusted. Then click on But-
ton “Connect”.
The password resets, depending on device, sometime after last serving.
18 Configurator
18.1 Properties
The KEB Configurator is a tool for easy modelling of KEB drive systems. While assembling these models you
are supported by an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) and different component selection wizards.
You can use the created systems for documentation purposes. Furthermore, you can generate COMBIVIS
(or COMBIVIS studio) projects and part lists, e.g., for requesting a quotation.
The Configurator also provides easy access to the technical data of KEB devices and their documentation.
Please Note: In the Configurator, the standard portfolio of KEB is included. For special options, please con-
tact directly to the KEB sales.

This menu command opens a preview dialog where additional adjustments can be made:
In COMBIVIS studio 6 in addition to the parameter based devices also PLC devices with complete EtherCAT
or CAN-Bus topologies can be generated:
Depending on the size of the project to generate this might take a moment.
After the generation, the relation between the elements in the configuration and the created objects persists,
which enables additional functionalities:
Open in Configuration:
From the navigator the corresponding elements can be highlighted in the Configurator.
The part list contains all elements from the Configuration. There are options to customize the view. Different
export formats are available as well as a print option.
In the “Documents”-tab of the editor for KEB devices all relevant documents for that device can be listed.
This list contains for instance all documents for the device and the connected motor.

20 IPScan Tool
The IPScan tool makes it easy to find accessible devices in your own subnetwork.
20.1 General
KEB IPScan uses the UDP protocol to transfer a block of data to allow detecting KEB devices with Ethernet
interface. The scan request is sent from a device called “IPScanner” via broadcast to reach all devices in the
local network subnet range. All devices with IPScan functionality (KEB Kontiki based firmware) respond to
the IPScanner with their name, location, and IP parameters. Also, any active instance of IPScan.exe soft-
ware is found (e.g., IPScan running in C6-IPC).
20.3 Ports
The request port is 67 on the UDP protocol, the response port is 68. Sometimes the response port on the
IPScanner is in use, so an alternative port can be used (devices with firmware after year 2014).
20.4 Scanning
By pressing the “Scan devices” button a call to the network is issued and the responding devices appear in
the list below.
20.5 Wink
By pressing the “Wink this device” button the selected device from the list is asked to show a local response.
This can be a blinking light or flashing header, depending on the specific hardware.
20.6 Assign
With the “Assign IP address” button, the selected device parameters and location may be changed. This
highly depends on the selected device type and needs a specific password for that. It is primary used by ser-
vice personnel.
21.1 Function
This plug-in creates a PDF document for a specified KEB COMBIVERT. The KEB Configurator is the data
base. Therefor only devices are offered which are parts of configurator.
The operating points refer to the torque-generating current and the rated frequency of the motor.
The losses are related to the rated apparent power of the COMBIVERT.
The energy efficiency tool can be opened directly from the configurator or as an editor in the Navigator.
Configurator:
From the configuration project, select a specific COMBIVERT and right-click on it to go to the context menu.
Then click on "Generate Energy Efficiency Declaration".
Navigator:
In the Navigator, right-click the project node and navigate to the Add Object item. Click on the "Energy Effi-
ciency Declaration" button to open the editor.
Choose device
Generate a document
Coming from the Navigator, the COMBIVERT must be selected from the list. After opening the window, the
1st device is displayed in the list. Select the correct COMBIVERT based on the part number.
In the default setting, the relative and absolute losses are displayed for the operating points defined in EN
61800-9-2.
In addition, the user can define up to 8 own load points. The loss values are interpolated from the normative
values. The points can be entered by a mouse double-click in the left-hand graph or manually in the table
"Custom load points".
The profile is activated by setting the check mark in the field “Loss time options”.
The profile is generated exclusively from the table of "Custom load points".
To integrate normative load points, these can be pulled down from the above table "Normative load points"
by mouse. The time values must be entered manually.
22 Parameter Cockpit
The function Parameter Cockpit is a tool to display parameter values in separate window and bigger size.
Set a name:
Parameters can be set by Drag&Drop from the device parameter editor or from a parameter list to one of the
view boxes.
The Parameter Cockpit is placed at the bottom of the editor window. It can be placed also on other sides (=>
